It seems you like Golden Retriever mixes!
Below is a link to a Yahoo search for Golden Retriever Rescues. Click on one near your home and look through the available dogs. Some of the sites include mixed Goldens.
Contact the Rescue organizations. Often, Rescues get calls from people wanting to rehome a mixed breed, but due to over crowding, pure bred Rescues can't take in the mixes. You might get a lead on a wonderful dog who is just what you are looking for!
Good luck.

Well you just have to hop some nitwit let his female get out at the wrong time!!!
Goldens are loaded with hip dysplasia (and elbow and osteochondrois and allergies...)
GSDs are rampant hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and major orthopedice structural problems behind besides dysplasia plus very very erratic temperments and mental stability
Frankly breeding some Golden who had never had all the xrays and test to some GSD who had not either, you can practically gaurantee that the puppies will be candidates for hip tranpslants and a LOT of expensive orthopedic surgery!
GOLDEN AND HUSKY?? Two completely unrelated breeds in personality, temperment behavior ..... Great - Husky Alpha dominance and I'm the boss mixed with the Golden super energy .......pass me the tranquilizers.
Golden and Dalmation???? GOOD GRIEF! The breed with no hips bred to the breed with widespread deafness........Not only hyped up but lame and can't hear you call them !!!!!!
NO ONE - I REPEAT NO ONE AT ALL - IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD DELIBERATELY CROSS THOSE BREEDS!
EVERYONE OF YOUR 'MIXES' IS A COMPLETE RECIPE FOR DISASTER WITH HIP DYSPLASIA, ELBOW DYSPLASIA, OSTEOCHONDROSIS.....TOSS IN THE THINGS FOR SOME OF THOSE BREEDS THAT CAN DOMINANT IN A CROSS SUCH AS REAR END ORTHOPEDICS, DEAFNESS, AND OH, YES, MAJOR EYE CONDITIONS......
(And - no a dog can look fine at the moment and STILL have every one of those helath problems. The odds of some moron who would breed those mixes actually springing for the $750 -1000 PER DOG to do the testing for hereditary health problems is about - (minus) 678.)

Check out the closest shelters and the golden retrievers rescue group. That would be your best bet I think.

I suggest going to the shelter, but keep in mind that most of the dogs you take out of the kennel are going to seem wild and unruly...most shelters dont walk the dogs or interact with them, so they are waaaaay excited for someone to pay attention! Oh, and a good dog is made, not found. Read books, learn training tricks...watch The Dog Whisperer on Discovery (I think) and Barking Mad on Animal Planet. When I got my dog, she was extremely fearful. Play training really helped! An abused dog will often respond to a child more than an adult, so get a young one to help you. You wouldnt recognize Nyx now...she is friendly, outgoing, and great with people. But it was work. So if you dont want to bother with a dog...dont bother with a dog...get me?

Go to your local animal shelter or the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to adopt a dog. The dogs need a good home, loving master and in return, they're capable of giving you their loyalty, love and affection and even their lives.
Adopt a pet today and it can make a big difference in the world and in your life :)
Good luck!

They do shepherds with retievers so they don't get a leg infection... I forgot the name. I had one once go to the pund you could get a good dog that's a mix. (make sure it's not mixed with a bull dog) That leds to BIG trouble

You are not looking for a mutt, you are looking for those new "designer" dogs.
You can try looking in shelters, but check out the link below. This new kennel club may help you locate a dog close to what you are looking for.
